I do feel sorry for nintendo...but at the same time...

Fuck'em [/quote]Is that the sd card activation update i so eagerly awaited for (because i didnt have internet access on my wii for some time) and havent hardly used since?

Nintendo was always against piracy. They didn't use CDs on the N64 because they were afraid of piracy. They used uncommon DVDs to protect against piracy for the Gamecube. They finally launch a console with a regular format and BOOM! backup loader. I feel sorry for them. Oh well Im going to go play my "backup" of Samba De Amigo.[/quote]

Or was it because they where not willing to pay the license fees to Philips for it and make an extra buck?

Since their policy is that anyone outside their very narrowly defined "maximum profit" zone can go screw themselves, it is my policy to tell them they can screw themselves back.[/quote]
My thoughts exactly.....Although, I love their products, I don't feel bad for the brains behind the whole thing..

I feel sorry for the modchip sellers

I don't, I'm still buying a modchip, even now this backup loader is here.
I just want to burn and play, all games I want...

"Sorry for Nintendo"??? As if Nintendo is just one person. It's a company mate. If your sorry for a company like that, what about all the record companies and movie companies??? When it comes down to entertainment, EVERYTHING is being pirated.

Feeling sorry for Nintendo = Feeling sorry for the complete entertainment industry

Also it seems alot of people taht have modded consoles still buy alot of games, Shane R Monroe from the team cyclops forums afaik has like 100 games or something and he still owns a cyclods[/quote]

QFT!

I don't feel bad for Nintendo. Bushing tried to warn them, and they chose to ignore his warning entirely.

Uhhh.. I know my history. Im just saying piracy was one of among many reasons they didnt use cds (they also used load times as an excuse).

Oh ok. Im sorry too. I kind of jumped at you. So I guess its you unanimous then.

piracy has so far destroyed less platforms than the fight against it. The most popular systems have historically been the ones with the most accessible forms of piracy. PS1 and PS2 of course are the extremes. And Wii have the softmod and are the most popular system this generation. Now finally, flash carts and iso loaders are widely available on DS and PSP respectively, and all of the sudden, handheld sales explode. On the other hand, extreme measures of "copyright protection", or rather end user enslavement, like DRM and Securom, have been slowing down the adaption of various next-generation formats.

nope. fuck them for ruining smash bros!!

Really, it's the top console this generation, it already won the war.

Sony and Microsoft failsmore since they are fighting for second place.

mebe in the beginning, but there hasn't been any decent games in a while for the wii, while 360 keeps delivering punches, and ps3 is finally starting to gain sum momentum.
